Price 52.50 FLYER ESTABLISHES EW RECORD Martha-Ann Lands Safely Schumacher Makes Happy A Landingg Has Crew of Two New York, june 12.-CAPH.-Vincent E. Schumacher, accompanied by Mrs. Schumach- er established today a record which gives us definite proof that he is the outstanding flyer of the present day. A reception rivaling that of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's of years gone by, greeted him and showed appreciation of his singular feet . Schumacher flew around the world in two days, stopping only in Venice to take a ride in a gondola. On his return, Schumacher was congrat- ulatedby the President of the United States, Glenn ,S. Allen. Mayor Stuart Russell of New York City gave him the Key to the city- and oh! what a Key. The first night he was royally entertained with a beautiful banquet at the Ritz by Governor VVilliam Kennedy of New York State. Music was furnished by Evvy Clark's Crooners doing a specialty number of Sweet Adeline . Later in the evening a lovely floor show was put on by the Croon- ers . The feature number was We'd Make a Peach of a Pair by Schlobohm and Drake, better known as Ruthie and Norm. The next evening the Secretary of Agri- culture, Harry Garrison, entertained them at the New York Opera House, where they .heard the great prima donna, Catherine Ettwein, sing Love, You Funny Thing . A special feature was the appearance of Ruth Bartoo, famed flutist. Mr. Schumacher collapsed, the entertain- ment proving too much after so many sleep- less nights. Artists' Conf ab Here At the artists' convention held here last week many beautiful paintings were exhibit- ed. Among them was a portrait entitled Sir john done in exquisite style by Bar- bara Knorr. fMrs. Sir johnl. Another prize-winning portrait was one of a marshall painted by Lou Barrows. Talking Marathon U A new record was made in talking mara- thons, yesterday, by Paul Kreilick. Mr. Kreilick outclassed all other entrants. If you want to know what he said, ask Paul. Heiress Backs Oil Company Miss Betty Joy Moss, well-known lieiress, has recently purchased five hundred shares of White Oil Stock. This will allow con- siderable expansion. The company has been operating under the direction of Ronald S. White. , New Bridge Completed A well constructed bridge spanning the Kalamazoo River has been completed by the Blink and Hope Construction Company. The Honorable Dwight Campbell, senator from Michigan, broke a bottle of Coca-Cola, donated by Will Kirby, president of the American Coca-Cola Company. - f advertisementl . Page Twenty-:wen
